This is the correct order Tim 1. I have a Bean managed MDB listening to a destination 2. Once a message is received, it creates a transaction and enlists three XAResource (two of them are dummy while third one is MessagingXAResource) 3. It does the usual JMS Stuff and finally sends a message to the destination 4. The commit is called. I crash the server during this phase so I can I have a prepared transaction 5. The server is back, the recovery kicks in, the transction is recovered, the message is published (or strictly, the state is changed from + to C) 6. There's a durable subscriber on this destination (where MDB has published). For some reason, i am not receving this published/committed message by the durbale subscriber.
